| we need CFAS more than ever to guide the Wortman public inquiry |
Yes.
Am I happy the three Inquiry Commissioners, Mclellan, MacDonald & Fitch are all deep career insiders from the Maritime Justice Industry they are supposed to be investigating ?
Decidedly not.
Look, when an armed mass killer is on the loose with a police cruiser in the dark of a Nova Scotia rural night, I don’t want any CFAs from BC or Ontario leading the search.
Leave that to locals.
But when it comes to investigating how the local justice system in two provinces Effed Up for 35 years on the Gabriel Wortman file, the last people I want are local insiders investigating their own actions and the actions of colleagues, relatives and friends.
Now is the time to bring in the CFAs : the further away the better.
People from Ontario, Alberta, BC : just as long as they aren’t from here, married someone from here, went to university here.
I want a detached, objective and not subjective, probe of the Debacle....
Bring them from really far and wide. I was reading the most astute and stinging criticism I've seen in print of Mark Furey yet. The writer understood Mark better than Mark understands himself. In "Politics and the English language" George Orwell really pin points furey. We need a CFA from so far away in space and time as George Orwell or at least someone in that spirit who can interrogate not just men but the very sentences they construct in English and infer the rotten intent behind vague and clumsy phraseology. Like Mark and his use of the phrase "tragedy" as a euphemism for 22 people getting murdered in two distinct massacres over a two day period. It largely skips over that and the largest policing failure in response to the massacre(s). Hopefully any investigator will be wise to all that.
